The people and residents of Use Offot along Nwaniba road in Uyo, the AkwaIbom state capital were today thrown into mixed feelings of happiness, sadness and the fear of uncertainty. This was as a result of the collision between a tanker and the divider splitting the beautiful Nwaniba road into two. The tanker was carrying at least one thousand liters of premium motor spirit, commonly known as petrol and fuel.

This is not an uncommon scenario in Nigeria as about a month ago, the Lagos – Ibadan express way was caught up by fire resulting from the tanker issue. What was rather disappointing was that after the Lagos – Ibadan incidence, the occupants of use Offot and its environs refused to learn the lesson associated with tanker accidents and deaths.

As reported by a staff of School plus Career, almost everyone ran out of their houses to either take pictures of the scene or lift the petrol that flooded the entire road and even covered the gutters. What was more disappointing was that parents and guardians had the guts to release their children into the place to help in lifting (or scooping) the petrol.
